He had objection to Kansas coramg into the Union

there ii* not a federal population of 20,0U0 persons,

It is with pleasure that w e are enabled to state

Somkthixg Like a Poophect.—ln looking over
some of the earlier -Debates iu Congress,” -ays
the National Inteili/renetr) a friend has stumbled
upon the following passage, which certainly seems
as if the eloquent speaker had the eye of his tnii.d
fixed upon the embryo city of .Saif Lake, in the T< r
ritory of Utah. It occurred in a speech delivered by
Mr. llahiuso.v Gray Otis in the Senate, in l*;j0, on
the Missouri bill:
Mr. Otis said he would suppose another r ase, not
likely to happen, but yet, tv* he trusted, not outra
geously improbable. There were, as was well
known, iu many parts of this country, societies of
persons r ailed khakern, of good moral characters,
and exemplary habits of industry, whose fundamen
tal doctrines were founded ou the duty of celibacy.
They are also a rich people, and in some of the
Sta.t**s experience interruption in their endeavors to
augment their numbers, and inconveniences from
laws which press upon their consciences, especially
in military concerns.
Imagine, sir, (said be) all these sects combined,
‘ and d 'teriniued to make a pilgrimage and become
sojou tiers in this new country of promise. Figure
to yourself four or five adults of both sexes, wi ll
their children iu separate and dismal processions,
marching beyond the Mississippi until they should
find a spot suited to their occa-M.n* , then halting
and sending you a missionary with the intelligence
of their demand to be admitted ns a State. Are
you bound toadinitthem without a stipulation that
they will make no laws prohibiting marriage, at the
liniment you kn >w this to be the main design of
tlieir'eiuigmtion, and t hus secure to a sect of those
peculiar and anti social tenets a monopoly of the en
tire State, and a power of virtually excluding from
its jurisdiction the great mass of yorr c tiz« ns?
There is no end to the instances which might be
multiplied wherein your interference would be in
dispensable for the protection of your citizens and
the prevention of contagious customs and institu
tions adverse to the policy and nature of our Go
vernment.
Condition of Walker’s Forces. —A corres
pondent ot the New York Tribune presents a dole
ful picture of the condition of Walker’s forces in Ni
caragua, which may or may not be true. lie says
that Walker Ims a force of about eight hundred
men, living almost wholly on rice and tortelia, des
titute nf the proper supplies of clothing, receiving
no pay, but occupying the dwellings of the people
as th.-y require them. The men are generally ilis
satisfied, nnd tLies feelings extends even to the high
est officers, some of whom are concerting measures
with other parties to supersede Walker. Many of
the officers would h ave, but that they dislike the
appearance of desertion. Walker arrogates to him
self all power nnd authority, and his despotism is
extreme. Rivas, the nominal President, is a mere
tool, nnd, in fact, is not at all informed as to the
purp< s of Walker. The mean -of exit, both by the
Atlantic anil Pacific are carefully guarded, so that
no one can leave without the permission of Walker.
Thus the unhappy men who once get there must
stay. The expiration of a term of service makes no
matter, there being no great freedom after then lie
fore it. Officers who resign their commissions are
forced into the ranks. No one is allowed to talk of
government affaire either tor or against, under se
vere penalties. A great many of the passengers
from New York on the first trip of the steamship
Orizaba were conveyed to Granada and compelled
to join the army. Walker’s men take. withouLhcs
itation, whatever property they or the authorities
may reqniie, no matter to whom it may belong.—
Government paper is offered in pay, which is value
less. Correspondents of newspapers published in
the United States dare not write the truth. Sick
ness has prevailed among Walker's army to such an
extent, that five hundred of his men must have died
during tin* year which he has occupied the country.
The disaffection is well known to Walker, and after
h s return from the tight at Rivas, lie was so much
afraid of it, that, lie appointed a body guard.— Hall.

The New York, Newfoundland and London
Telegraph Company. —The fact was noticed yes
terday morning that the steamship Propontis, with
the submarine electric telegraph cable to cross the
gulf of St. Lawrence, ami connect Newfoundland
with Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, sailed from Lon
don on tin* 2*l inst. The .Journal of Commerce sup
plies some additional information. Another similar
cable will be extended from Prince Edward Island
to N«-w Brunswick, and it is expected they will bo.li
be laid by the last, of the present month. The En
glish government have sent the war steamer Argus
to be present when the wire is put, down, nnd ren
der any needed assistance. A number of ptrsons
sailed from Boston, in the Niagara, on Wednesday,
to witness the execution of this interesting portion
of tin* work, and will be met by other parties leav
ing England with the same object. The manufac
turers of the wire, in London, assume all risk in
connection with this portion of the enterprise, it be
ing agreed that they shall receive n eertuin amount
in payment when the wilt* is laid down ami guaran
teed. The Company have for some time past had
t*tlff men constantly employed on the line across
Newfoundland, where a parallel road is built, and
houses are erected at every ten m les, for the occu
pation of the operators ami laborers. All this work
is only preliminary to the formidable enterprise of
linking the old world to the new, by electric tele
graph. Experiments are constantly making, with
a view to use* rtniu the best description of cable
adapted to this purpose, and it is confidently ex
pected that the work will be complete*! during the
next year.— Halt. Ame.r.
Progress of Florida Rail Roads. —Of the
Central road (from Jacksonville towards Tallahas
see.) the Jacksonville News sin s.
“Nine miles of the road from this place are graded
—the work being executed, as o*■ learn is the opin
ion of good judges, in a very superior manner. The
contractors continue to push the work on, continu
ing a good force on the line.
“The work on the line—the prospects of the com
pany—and everything connected with the under
taking, bears, we are happy to say, a promising as
peet.”
Os another Florida enterprise, we have the follow
ing report contained in a letter from Fernaudiua to
the Tidlahassee Journal:
“The railroad trom Femandiua to Cedar Key is
progressing finely. There is thirty miles graded.
The marsh between the Amelia Island and the main
land is piled and ready for the iron. The draw
bridge was finished on the 3d irst., on which day a
steamer passed through the draw. The bridge is
133 feet m length, and is so perfectly bah:need that
one man can turn it. It is a beautiful piece of
mechanism. AID he swamps in this county as far
as the Duval road to Alligator, will be bridged iu
less than three months from this time. The work
is progressing rapidly. The iron for the first ten
miles is daily expected—was purchased in New
Yoik : that for the next twenty is engaged iu Eng
land, and will be here in the fall."
The Products of Slave La non.—The total
value of tlic exports of cotton, tobacco, rice and
naval stores, article* of slave labor, for the year end
ing June 30, 1865, amounted to $100,480,077. At
the same dtae of the present year, they amount to
about $1 14,480.077. giving an increase in value of
$38,14)0.000. The New York Herald says that the
result el Southern labor for a single year, shows the
value t. tut- Union of that section of country. In
these results, ti.e free States of the North, it is be
lieved, participated to the lull extent of 20 per cent,
or to tin* auiouut ot $ l>4, which,in teu rears,
would amount to 800,004. If to the SH, 150,077
slave products for 1856, we add the exports of
breadstnils, timber, staves, etc., from the same part
of the l" i ion, and add the $31,00n,000 worth of cot
ton consumed in the United Suites, with the large
supply of sugar from the same region, which iu 1850
amounted to $12,878,850, we shall have a grand to
tal of slave products tor a single year of not less,
probably, than $27*0,000,000. By the census returns
of 187*0, it appeare there were in the Southern States
74,081 cotton plantations, 2,081 sugar plantations.
551 rice estuUs, 15,745 tobacco estates, and 573
hemp planter-. There were 5,000,000 acres of land
devoted to the culture of cotton. — Halt. A tncr.
Hov. Edward Everett.—We regret to learn
that the health of Mr Everett has from some cause
become seriously impaired, and that he has in conse
quence been compelled to discontinue for awhile ids
labor* in the noble and patriotic cause in which he
is so honorably and intimately ass<minted. has
therefore requested the citizens of Roxbury. Muss.,
to release him thorn his engagement to deliver in that
place on the Fourth of July next his celebrated ora
tion on the life ami character of Washington.
Mr. Everett, it is stated, is about to proceed to
Newport, where a change of air and scene and a
temporary release from the pressure and monoto
nous routine of his ordinary pursuits will, in a short
time he hopes, repair the d'am-age which his recent
labors have made upon his physical nature. That
the expectations of the distinguished ora ter and
statesman may be realized, and. if possible, more
than realized, is we do not hesitate to say. the ear

He is emphatically & liew mac, but whether that
will recommend Ut* or not is a question vet to be
decided. Os political hiaiory he Uass scarcely any,
his only connection with the politics of t .e country
having been as Senator for the short term from Cali
fomin, immediately after the adu. isbiou of that State
to the Union. He then acted with the Democratic
{«rty. Personally he is regarded a- a gentleman of
lair abilities, but more diatiugubked by habits of
physical endurance and rugged determination than
for the high mental cultivation and extended know
ledge of the statesman. He k a good campaigner
ana r successful explorer, but hardly qualified, we
should think, either by experience or attainment for
the post to which the preference of a sectional party
have nominated him. The nomination is evidently
one of expediency, in which the old standard
ers of abolitionism have been cast aside in order to
unite up* n one who without antecedents to answer
for might occupy the uncertain position which will
attract to him the largest amount of support at the
North. Virtually the nomination is a confession of
weakness, so far’as the supposed principles of the
party are concerned. Singularly enough the New
York Herald, until lately the most bitter opponent
of Republicanism, was the earliest and has been
the most earnest advocate of the nomination of
Fremont.
American Race Horses going to England
The Lexington Ky.) Observer announces that Mr.
11. Tenßroeck’s celebrated race horses, Leconte,
Prior, Prioress, (recently known by the name of
Poison,) and Etiquette, a three year old filly, by Ma
riner, out «*f Fashion, left Lexington on the tJTth ul
timo for New York, whence it is expected they will
be taken by their spirited owner to England, to con
?/•!:•! for tl.e honors of the turf with the best blood
of that country.
The New Orleans Delta of Friday says: *\Ve
were handed last night a full blown cotton boll
which was brought from a plantation near Havana
by a gentleman who arrived recently from that city,
it is very beautiful, clear, fine textured, strong and
long stapled. The locks hang fully six inches from
the boil. As a proof of the capability of the soil for
cotton-growing, it i« really a curiosity. It is possi
ble that the acclimitization of the seed of this cotton
in the United States would make a new and supe
rior variety.”
Freedom ok the Press. —On the ISith of April,
the Polynesian, the official organ of the Hawaian
government, re-published, without comment, an ar
ticle from the London Times, containing severe
ti ietures on th ; United States. Hon. D. L. Gregg,
U. S. Commissioner, immediately addressed a letter
to the Minister of Foreign relations, tusking that the
Hawaiian government should unequivocally con
demn the publication of the .article in a “marked
and public manner.” The Minister made enquiries
into the matter, and disclaimed any intention on the
part of the government to show the United States
any disrespect by the publication of the article. It
is something new for Americans to attempt the muz
zling of the press. —Richmond Despatch.
Another Atlantic Telegraph Cable. —The
St. John Observer states that another attempt to lay
a chain cable for a telegragh across the Atlantic will
b«- made. The length ol the cable will be 12,400
miles, and two steamers, each with 1,200 miles of ca
bles, will meet midway between Ireland and New
Poundland, unite the cables, and proceed in oppo
site directions to land.
Mr. Fillmore, it is said, was rather shabbily treat
ed by the dignitaries of Vienna. After the snubbing
that Austria got through Mr. Webster, Mr. Fillmore’s
Secretary of State, Mr. Fillmore could scarcely ex
pect a great deal of affection iu that quarter. Mr.
Fillmore’s foreign policy was an event in the history
of the nation. If offensive to despotism, it was in
accordance with every principle of Christian civili
zation.
The length of all the different streets in London
is 1,750 miles, the paving of them cost £44,000,000,
and the yearly cost of keeping the pavement in re

number in the Union Theological Seminary, 18,000
in the Apprentices’ Library, 15,000 in the Free

Counterfeit. —We have been shown a counter
feit note, of the denomination of ten dollars, upon
the Bank of Georgetown. South Carolina, purport
ing to have been issued July. 1840, and numbered
4475 D. Upon comparison with the genuine note
the fraud can bo easily detected. The spurious
note is a quarter of an inc h too short, and the vig
nette, a female bust, is very poorly engraved. The
signature of the President is well executed, while
that of the Cashier betrays a tremulousness in exe
cution not visible in the genuine. We think the
counterfeit can be discovered immediately by its
disproportionate length—at least by the slightest
glance at the engraving, but our citizens would do
well to watch all notes on the Georgetown Bank
closely. —Coinmbia Times.
Benton vs. Fremont. —Benton has announced
his determination to support Buchanan. Fremont
is his son-in-law, but the old gentleman, who knows
him better than anybody else, evidently thinks that
the nomination of Fremont is “a nomination not fit
to be made.”
The arrangement which President Pierce lias
made with Denmark for the postponement of any
resistance on our part, to collection of the Sound
Tolls for om* year from the 14th inst., it is stated,
was entered into at the earnest solicitation of the
Dunisli Government. Further, the arrangement is
mad**, under circumstances which promise a final
adjustment of the subject within the year. Whether
the duties to be paid under protest will ever be re
funded or not, will depend upon t lie terms of the
finul airangeinent. — Halt. Amer.
The Shreveport (La.) Gazette of the 71 li instant,
says that within the last two weeks Shreveport
has been visited with more sickness than for
many months past. The cases are of a mild type,
and yield readily to medical treatment and in some
instances no medicine has been necessary.
Mr. Dallas. —-The New York Herald says : “We
learn from undoubted authority—and we believe
some of the leading bankers here are aware of the
sact —that Mr. Dallas, not many days ago, express
c*l his opinion that as soon as the dismissal of Mr.
Crumpton ami the Consuls was known in England,
he himself would receive his passports. He xpee
ted nothing else. The passengers who came out
in tiie Ericsson—at least those of intelligence—
were of Ihe same opinion, and some foreign cap
italists sold out their stocks immediately on their ar
rival.”
The Beard Movement. —The wearing of the
whole beard has become so common now, especially
in the winter season, that the New-York Evening
Post expresses the opinion that the number of
those who shave has become the minority; but
among some classes the practice has not been gene
rally introduced. Clergymen are beginning to
adopt it, because of the benefit to health, and addi
tional safeguard against attacks of bronchitis. Rev.
C. L. Brace, of the Children’s Aid Society, the Rev.
A. A. Livermore, of Cincinnati, nnd Rev. Samuel
Johnson, of Lynn, Mass., the two latter distinguished
Unitarian clergymen have worn full beards, includ
ing moustache, for one or two years past.
Murder in Liberty County Miss.—A des
patch to the Baton Rouge Gazette, dated Liberty,
Miss., June 14, says:
William B. Wall was shot iu this county, this
morning, by his nephew, E. B. Wall. They had
a dispute, when E. B. Wall went to his house, got
his rifle and deliberately fired hitting him in the
heart.
Mount Vernon. —Mr. Everett, in a letter to Gov.
Bragg of North Carolina, says that the sums which
have come into his hands from the delivery of his
lecture on the character of Washington, have all
been safely and advantageously placed in trust for
the purchase of Mount Vernon, and that the same
disposition will be made of all money received here
after from the same source, without the deduction of
a dollar for personal expenses.
Tennessee for Fillmore. —The Albany States
man makes the following extract from a letter it has
received from one of the most prominent ami best
informed politicians in Tennessee, under date of the
6th inst.:—“We shall carry Tennessee over all op
position. Fillmore is stronger in Tennessee than
Clay. Taylor or Scott ever was, and they all three
carried the State.”
The Mormons “Sanctifying.” —Two hundred
and four inhabitants of the counties of Mackinaw,
Chippewa, Delta, Emmett and Steboggan, in tin*
northern part of Michigan, have addressed a coni
muneation to Gov. Hingham, representing the suf
fering to which they have been subjected by reason
of Mormon depredations, anil praying some relief
from the nefarious conduct of some of their trouble
some neighbors. They state that their property is
not safe from the encroachments of the Mormons,
who. by the convenient process of “sanctifying”
chatties, appropriate t- their own use whatever falls
in their way. Cattle, fishing boats and apparatus,
salted fish in barrels, wood, wagons, kettles, lum
ber, etc., all come convenient to the robbers, and
are “sanctified” to their own use by force and
arms.
i Purlk Feei.inu is England on the American
[ is i ion .—The private letters by the America are,
on the whole, said to be* quite favorable ; there was
considerable speculation, it is true, as to what would
be the upshot of the difficulties between the two
i countries, but not oue person in a hundred believed
that war would ensue. That Mr. Crampton would
be sent home was quite universally admitted, but
it was not so certain that Mr. Dallas would be
treated in like manner—tin* insinuations of the
Times to the contrary notwithstanding. Certain it
was, the mass of the people were against handing
the American Minister his passports, and it was be
lieved the ministry would hesitate considerably be
fore taking such a step. — Balt. Amer.
Another Defaulting Treasurer.— The Cin
cinnati Gazette, of the 17th inst., says: The Treasu
rer of Montgomery county, Ohio. David Clark, it
lias beeu ascertained, is a defaulter to the amount of
J? lo.DHO. lie hopes to be able to account for half of
this large sum, but no attempt is made to account for
the balance.
It k Beug> —All the arrivals in New York during
the past week bring intelligence of large quantities
of ice and immense ice bergs in the Atlantic. On
the East coast of New Foundl&ud, there was so
much field-ice that vessels had to tack South to get
clear of it.
Government Finances.—The Star, in its mone
tary article, says : . ii » wards of six millions of dol
Jars have been disbursed in payment of the Texas
indemnity since June Ist. A large amount of mo
ney is inactive, awaiting a settlement of political
afiairs. When this large sum shall be liberated, a
considerable advance in State, Bank and Railroad

It is cur purpose to make the influence of the
Chronicle 4* Sentinel felt in the approaching can
vass ; and we, therefore, submit the above terms,
with the hope, that the American Party throughout
the State will cordially aid us in our design.—
To do this most certainly and effectually, our
friends everywhere, must circulate the paper. Aye,
looee your purse strings, and scatter the paper
among all classes of people, especially those who are
not in the habit of taking a paper. Ii will be an easy
matter for a few individuals in each county to sub
scribe a sum sufficient to send from one hundred to
two hundred papers in every county in the State,
where they are needed to enlighten the people.—
And this is the plan to pursue. Do not fold your
arms and wait for such people to subscribe. As
a hint to the wise is sufficient, we do not deem it
necessary to enlarge on this topic; and only desire
to say in conclusion, we are ready and willing to do
our whole duty. All we want our friends to do, is
to help ns to accomplish the greatest good.

.Mr. It uc linn all’s fourth of July Oration.
To gratify a very general desire to see the Oration
delivered by Mr. Buchanan on the Fourth of July,
1115, we transfer it to our columns this morning)
and bespeak for it a careful perusal. It leaves no
doubt as to his political position at that day, and his
hostility to the administration of that pure Republi
can patriot, James Madison. We wonder whether
the Democratic organs will publish it, for the bene
fit of their readers.
Mr. Fill in ore’-. Keiurn Co America.
As the glad tidings that Mr. Fillmore lmd once
more returned to his native land, wa# yesterday
borne upon the wings of the lightning from city to
city, the news must have awakened the warmest
emotions in every true American heart. 1 his great
statesman and patriot has passed the months that
have elapsed since the hand of death touched his
dearest family ties, in sojourning in the various
countries of Europe, studying the actual condition of
each, and making himself familiar with the leading
men of every government. Welcomed on all hands
with the greatest cordiality, for everywhere his il
lustrious fame had preceded him, he has probably
acquired much information of the actual world as
any American statesman.
One circumstance connected with Mr. Fill
more’s reception in Europe must strike every mind.
While he, the ex-President of the United States has
been thus kindly greeted, his successor, Mr. Pierce,
and the aged Cliamelion who is now seeking to
grasp the mantle that is about to fall from that gen
tleman’s shoulders, have been spoken of in Europe in
terms of bitterness and disrespect. Broadly accused
in the most influential journals of catering for self at
the expense of country, charged with seeking rath
er to complicate than to remove difficulties, and
known to have either directly or indirectly assisted
at the Ostend piratical Conference, they have pro
cured for themselves as much censure as Mr. Fill
more lias received praise. In Europe, as in Ameri
ca, Mr. Fillmore’s election to the Presidency
would be a firm guarantee of peace and good will,
and the joy with which the intelligence would be re
ceived there would be second only to the enthusiasm
which it will cause in this country.
The time at which this truly great man has re
turned is most propitious. His rivals have had time
to expose their contradictions and weaknesses.—
The curious piece of Democratic legerdemain to se
cure the spoils, by which Mr. Buchanan seemed to
swallow the Cincinnati platform, containing all Mr.
Pierce's foibles and a filibustering plank aiming at
preponderance in the Gulf of Mexico, and then in
his letter of acceptance talking of using his best ex
ertions to cultivate peace and friendship with all
nations, must astound every one ; while Col. Fre
mont’s Black Republicanism, being foisted upon the
credulous as a thing national, not, sectional, is even
more offensive. Mr. Fillmore’s proud career has
shown that statesmanship is eminently truthful; the
conduct of his opponents has exhibited political
wire-pulling in all its meanness. .Speaking of the
former, the words great and good are ever applied :
speaking of the latter, the fit terms are plausibility
and trickiness, duplicity, double dealing, change
ling*. Can there be any doubt that the nation will
know on whom to bestow her proudest gifts ? Can
there be any doubt that Millard Fillmore will
be, in November, the chosen son of the great Re
public ( There should not be.
Anti-Americanism Rampant.
Those men who maintain that the American Union
:* can safely receive a y number of foreigners—no
matter whether they are totally incapable of appre
-1 dating our Constitution, or even totally ignorant of
» our laws and our language—will be somewhat start
led by the proceedings of some three hundred
foreigners, mostly Frenchmen, who assembled at the
i Democratic Headquarters in New Orleans on the
f evening of the 14th inst. A Frenchman named
5 Girard, had been killed in a coffee-house dispute
, about three weeks previously, and his assassins be
ing still ut large, the meeting declared that the lives
’ of foreigners were defenceless in that city, and it
1 was resolved that a petit! ui for protection, should
1 be presented to the General Government, and to
* the French Govern men!. The following unparal
leled resolutio- s were then adopted :
‘ 1. That tiie French Consul be instructed to take
’ all the necessary measures, by applying to the
j proper authorities, for the discovery of Girard’s
murderers.
2. That u copy of the above resolution be sent to
the French Minister at Washington, with u copy of
the answer of the French Consul.
3. Fhat a second copy fe sent to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs in Fa r/s, with a detailed account
' of the facts, which gave rise to the application made
1 to the French Consul.
: 4. That a third
papi'rs, with the same detailed occou.U, tciththe • b
ject vj forcing the ftuca-umeat to art hg submitting
it t<> the pressure esp H>c opinion.
Eunnissaries of li'>i is Napoleon could offer no
greater insult to our e own try than is contained in
f! these it solutions. The audacious threat of appeal
s’ ing to the French government for interference in a
common ease of man-slaughter, and seeking to pre
judice public opinion in France by means of her
press against our country, cannot be too severely
condemned. And yet many of the men who offer
| these insults to our Republic are doubtless either
citizens or oo the ever of becoming American citi
zens, and their votes will probably swell the Demo
cratic ranks, and prove how negligent we are of the
sacred liberties confided to our care.
Grand Democratic Rally in Buffalo.
[ The Democrats of Buffalo, New York, held a
i grand rally on Monday night, the 16th iust.. to ratify
! the nomination of Buchanan. The meeting was
I held in the Eagle Street Theatre, and every effort
i was made for a grand and imposing demonstration
The meeting organized, and resolutions ratifyingthe
i nomination were submitted when the assemblage was
| addressed by the leaders, among whom were 11. W.
) Rogers,Bryan, the Editorof the Buchanan organ.
H. S. Cutting, and W. L. G. Smith: after which the
i resolutions were put to a vote and voted down. —
; The result so overwhelmed the officers, the Patriot
j says, “there was no adj urnment. That last vote
| was sufficient, and the officers of the meeting quiet
jly took their hats and decamped informally. A!
together it was a funny meeting. There wa
; no positive disorder—no one got mad. The whole
i thing was the richest farce ever performed in that or
i any other theatre. ’

Emigrants for Liberia.—The ship Elmira

in Virginia, L j, ' : ; --l m advance, that the
Richa " tri
umph. This w.is high and official Democratic au
thority. We also pu ".shed the first and 15th bal
lots in the Gnivt‘ d-m. which conclusively es
tablish the f?iir I. ; us'recapitulate:—lu the
Convention there v. re l:Ji) votes from the
slave States, and Ed f.<>m Ch ■ Free Slates. —
On the first billot Blchaxan had 34 Southern
votes, a little over one-fourth of the Southern vote,
and LOl from the Free States, just three-fourths of his
vote. There was very little change, up to the fif
teenth ballot, when Buchanan received 168, L's
highest vote previous to the nomination. Os
these, 51 were from the Slave States, and 1i 7
from the Free States, the latter being more
than two-thirds of his vote. These facts show whence
Lis principal strength came: and that the great
mass of the Free Slate Democracy supported him.
On the first ballot he received three-fifth* of his
votes from the Five States, and on the fifteenth bal
lot he received nearly three-feu r;hs of that vote.
This evidence is of itself conclusive to any impar
tial, candid man, but we have additional —the te.-ti
mony of men of all parties who were on the spot
during the session of the Convention, who saw the
workings and heard the conversations. But, before j
introducing them, permit us to present the evi- !
deuce of the Washington correspondent of the I
Charleston Mercury, whose Democracy no one will !
question.
“In a letter writt-.u just before the meeting of the
Cincinnati Convention, he said there were certain
m ivements then going on in Washington, the pur
pose of which was to adopt, in the Cincinnati Con
vention, a compromising cour e on the subject of
slavery, to conciliate ‘ the unsound wing’ of the
Democracy, and l<> nominafe the candidate most
acceptable to the Five.sailers. This writer further
added, that Southern Representatives were engaged
in this business for the sake ot success.”
Stick a pin there, reader, and then permit us to
place on the stand the Democratic Editor of the
Washington City Star, who was in Cincinnati du
ring the session of the Convention. In a letter to
ills paper, he said :
*'it is undeniably true that much of the outside
pressure for his Buchanan's) nomination is the re
sult of a disposition to bring in the votes of men of
Freesoil tendencies—iinii Nebraska bill men—those
who, while proh-ssing acquiescence in the questioned
feature of the Kansas-Nebraska act., are eternally
disputing the propriety of its original enactment. I
have no fancy for such Democrats, and would prefer
lighting the contest without them. Hence my car
lo st opposition to Mr. Buchanan’s nomination. I
deprecate the day when their counsels will have
weight in those ot the great Democratic party, and
do not comprehend us vet, iiow, after courting their
votes in malting a nomination, we can, with any de
gree of self-respect fad to accord to them frankly
the weight in del -mmiing our future course as a
party, legitimately due to their numbers as an mte
grarportion oi the Democratic organization."
Here are three good Democratic witnesses, ail of
whom testify to the same fact in advance of the
nomination. They had each and all been behind
the curtain, and saw the pulling of the wires. These
three witnesses, ail Southern men, arc now support
ers of Buchanan. Let us add another of the same
character in the person of the Editor of the St.
Louis Democrat , a Buchanan Freesoil Benton
organ, who was also in Cincinnati, and wrote to his
paper thus :
“Cincinnati, June 4.
“Buchanan will be nominated. The South is try
ing to kill him off with a platform; but the feeling
here is, ‘d n the platform.*,’ so they g#t a right
sort of a man, as platforms do not control adminis
trations now a-days *
When the leader is informed that this is a Free
soil editor, and is now zeaiouriy advocating the
claims of Buchanan, he will be at no loss to decide
what was “the right sort of a man ” in the opinion
of this editor.
Thus far we have only placed Democrats, Bu
chanan men, on the stand, let us now introduce
the special correspondent of the 81. Louis Republi
can, auti Kno’.N Nothing Whig, and latterly co op
erating with the Atchison wing of the Missouri
Democracy. In a letter to that journal, written
during the session of the Convention, he said:
The chances remain about as they have been, as
respects the nominee: Buchanan—Douglas—Pierce.
All sorts of stories are being told, hourly, to which no
attention is now paid. One thing is evident, how
ever. The Free<od influence of the North, ami of
this city, are becoming stronger against him ,
(Pierce) and he is losing ground.
Benton, it is said, is in close con fab with the Bu
chanan leaders, all the time, and will support his
nomination. It is said further, that he has tele
graphed to Missouri, that he will run for Governor,
against tlie Polk party, which is fully recognized by
the National Convention. All this is making the
South feel sore and sour, and Pierce stock is rising.
Here we might rest the question with the utmost
confidence as to the result of the verdict of every
intelligent, impartial mind, but as Freesoil witnesses
are so much in favor with Southern Democrats just
now, especially when they desire to make the South
ern people believe that Air. Buchanan is a “pro
slavery man," we must introduce two of them.
The first is an extract from the Cincinnati Gazette,
a Freesoil, Anti-Nebraska paper, which was pub
lished during the session of the Convention. Here
it is :
“Opinions as to the nomination are as various,
almost, as the delegates arc numerous. Buchanan
men, last night, were, or affected to be, certain of
his nomination. Some professed to think that he
would be nom mated on the second, others oil the
third vote ; while the.extremely sanguine believed
that he would be nominated by acclamation. We
think, on our part, that Buchanan has gained
strength within a tew weeks, and even since the
delegates began to asset able here. The infamous
outrage uj.on Mr. Sumner and the infamous pro
ceedings of the Border Ruffians in Kansas have
created such an excitement in the North, that the
politicians see that without they take up some man
like Mr. Buchanan, who has not ban closety iden
tified with the Kansas Nebraska Bill, they will
have no chance of doing anything in the Northern
States. Hence, they are willing to dodge the issues
by throwing overboard both Pierce and Douglas
and nominating Buchanan who does not occupy a
position quite so antagonist ieul to the Anti-slavery
sentiment of the North, as they do.
“The nomination of Buchanan by the Democratic
Convention will be a Freesoil triumph ; for although
he would not b * satisfactory to those who impose
the extension of slavery, his nomination over the
heads of those who have done so much to further
the purpose of the slavery propagandists could only
be accomplished through a consciousness that
these champions of slavery were weak, and could
not be put in nomination without a great deal of
risk.
“We say nothing in reference to the ingratitude of
the South, and the bad effect it will have upon North
ern doughfaces, should Pierce and Douglas be
thrown overboard —although we have in our eye
a number of young politicians of easy conscience,
or no conscience at all, who are ready to earn their
promotion by doing t lie dirty work of the South —
because it is no concern el ours. Let them take
care of themselves. But we were nor. prepared for
the exibition of weakness and dread of meeting the
issue they have raised, which, if the Buchanan
men are to be bclievt d.) the Democrats in the Con
vention are about to make. The nomination of
Buchanan trill be ri' fually an admission that the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise was a false step,
anil a condemnation ij Fa rce and his Aclmimstra-
The next and lust on this occasion, is the special
correspondent of the N. Y. Evening- Post, another
“ Freesoilpaper, writing from Cincinnati, he stated
in extenso the grouudsupon which Mr. Buchanan’s
friends advocated LL claims to the nomination, and
the objections of those present by whom he was op
; posed.
j The reasons advanced by his partizaus m behalf
of his nomination were—
First. lie is the last of the luce of Jacksonian
statesmen of distinction, who have remained tit all
times true to the interests of the South.
. Second. That for the last twenty years he has
. filled satisfactorily, important offices, at home and
J abroad.
Third. That he alone can carry Pennsylvania.
> Fourth. That Le is of respectable personal habits,
f being neither a bully nor a drunkard.
Fifth. That bid political meliuiugs are to the cou
f servative side.
Sixth. That hi originated !'-cproposition to pur
el ose C f>a ; and r is ‘hr a u Harr of the (Mend Cir
cular, recommending its > if the Spanish
t Government ref used s o sell !
Seventh. That his Northern friends believe that
r he regards the Missouri Compromise as a just and
wise provision —Hiougl h< is railing to acquiesce in
its repeal : and that his nomination, therefore,
* wouia be equivalent to the declaration from the
1 Convention of a general amnesty to all who opposed
. the Kansas bill, but are ready to acquiesce in the
p. incip'e of squatter sovereignty, including such
men as Allen, of Ohio, Benton, of Missouri, and
' others.
On the other hand, those Democrats who were
. antagonistic to his nomination contended :
1. That he commenced life as a Federalist, and a
champion of the alien laws of John Adams.
2. lie is reported to have once said in Balti
more, that if he thought he had one drop of Demo
cratic blood in his veins he would open them and let
it out.
3. In a speech on the sub-treasury bill in the Senate
Chamber, he dropped a remark, which was construed
by the country into a declaration of his willingness
to see the wages of mechanics reduced to tea cents
a day.
It was urged against him to the Northern dele- j
gates:
4. “That he has shown himself on sundry occa
sions willing to aid in the extension of Southern in
stitutions.
“By the osier to purchase Cuba ; by his recom
mendation of extending the Missouri line to the
Pacific: by his co-operation with the present ad
ministration : by his Ostend Circular, and by his
avowed willingness to accept the territorial policy
of the Pierce party with reference to Kansas."
In operating upon the feelings of the Southern 1
delegates, arguments essentially different were ad- j
vanced. To these it was iusisteu :
“That ke was absent from the country when the j
Kansas biil became a law; and that he is therefore ;
entitled to no honor for a measere in which he did j
not participate:
“That having declared the Missouri Compromise a ;
wise measure, it i- impossible for him to properly re
present the isoue which the South insist upon trying j
at this election, viz : that Congress had no power to j
enact or sanction any limitation upon the power ot :
an American citizen to take his slaves wherever he j
can go himself:
That though well disposed to the South, he is con- j
stitutionaily timid, and may be frightened into con- '
cessions by the pressure ot the anti-slavery feeling 1
which is likely to overwhelm the next Congress:
That his principal friends and supporters are men
unworthy of public confidence:
That his proclivities are to fiiibusterism and red
republicanism ;
fbat in his diplomatic career he not only failed to
settle anv of the vexed questions between this
country and England, but made obvious and con
stant efforts to disturb the friendly feelings which
ought to subsist between the two counties.
That no important public measure has ever been j
initiated by him during his whole public life; that i
no one has eve** quoted a speech of his for the ability j
it displayed, and that he can point to nothing but i
the offices he has held to sustain his pretensions to
the Presidency. i
And. finally, that he never has carried—and, j
therefore, probably, never can carry —the State of |
Pennsylvania at a popular election.
Such are alleged to have been the arguments j
used at the Cincinnati Convention, by the rival sec- j
tioas of the Democratic party, to promote or pre- ’
vent the nomination of Mr. Buchanan. And such j
is the evidence that his nomination was a Freesoil
triumph. Let Southern men ponder upon it. ,

Mi, Olto'.irft'k fltUlSrlUi
The letter of Mr, Fillmore, accepting the LofflD
nation of the American party, very clearly sad dis- <
tinctiy sets forth the principles of his platform, lie s
proclaims in mmihtakable language his sincere and t
earn- t ih.: • ii-... administration of our (
government :v•. ed to that original simplicity and •
purity which uiaiked the first years of its exist- j
ence, and,if possible, to quiet that alarming see- 1
liotud agitation, which, while it delights the mou- i
archiat of Europe, causes every true friend of our i
own country to mourn.” i
Again he remarks : i
“Having the experience of past service in the ad- i
ministralhju of the Government 1 may be permit .
ted to refer to that as the exponent ot' the future,
and to say, should the choice of the Convention !
be sanctioned by the people, I shall, with the name
scrupulous regard for t,e nght* cf every section j
of the Union which then influenced mu conduct, en
deavor to perform every duty confided by the Con- 1
dilution era Laws to the LMecufire." <
Here he refers to his past administration as the i
exponent of his future policy. To that, then, we are
to refer for his platform. Lut us see what that plat
form is.
In his message of Dec. 2, 1850, refering to the
compromise measures, he says;
“The series of measures to which I have alluded
are regarded by me as a settlement in principle and
sact —a final settlement of the dangerous aud ex
citing subjects which they embraced. 1 recom
mend vour adherence to the adjustment established
by those measures .”
“The country may be assured, that, to the utmost
of my ability, and to the extent of the power vested
in me, l shall, at all times and in all places, take
care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
Every intelligent reader is familiar with the great
principle.-:-established and proclaimed in the Com
promise measures of ISSO, yet as they form the great
corner-stone and superstructure of Mr. Fillmore’s
| platform it may be proper to refer to them particu
i arly.
! The Compromise measures declare that new
' states- —“shall be received into the Union, with or
1 without slavery, as their Constitution may prescribe
at the time of their admission.”
“lhat only a • zrns i f the l ui/cJ Stairs shall en
joy the right of suffrage and of holding office, in the
Territories.
“That the Constitution and all laws of the United
States which are not locally inapplicable, shall have
the same force and effect within the Territories as
elsewhere within the United States.
“That no citizen of the United States shall be de
prived oi'his life, liberty, or property in the Terri
/•/V«, except by the judgment of liis peers and the
lor * ( f the land. 1 '
“That the Legislative powero: the Territoiy shall
! extend to all rightful subjectsof legislation consistent
j >c t fk the Constitution of the United Stales ; and
that in all case* involving title to slaves, writs of
j error and aj peals shall be allowed, from the deci
' sions of the Territorial Courts, to the Supreme Court
j of the United States.
: “ That the Courts of the United States, and the
Supreme Courts iff each Territory , shall from time
to time, enlarge the number of Commissioners, with
a view to afford reasonable facilities to reclaim fu
gitives from labor: and they, and the judges of suca
Courts, are empowered to grant certificates to claim
ants —‘ to take and remove such fugitives from ser
vice or labor to the State ou Territory from which
persons may hare escaped or fled. 1
“They enacted a most stringent law for the re
capture of fugitive slaves, and against all who shall
harbor or conceal them—
“ And declare that new States may be framed out j
of Texas, as provided in the Act of Annexation a::d
admitted with slavery into the Union.”
There reader, you have the platform of Millard
Fillmore—it contains no ambiguities, admits not
of one construction for the South and a very different
one for the North ; and in this it differs as far as the
poles are asunder from the Cincinnati conglomera
tion. He takes a broad, comprehensive and expan
sive view of the whole duty of a President, and like
a true and sagacious statesman proclaims it to the
world in his message to Congress, in which (speak
ing of the Compromise measures,) he said :
“In fulfilling the constitutional duties, fellow
citizens, on tins subject, as in carrying into effect
all the powers conferred by the constitution , we
should consider ourselves as deliberating and act
ing for one and the same country, and bear constant
ly in mind that our regard and our duly arc due,
not to a particular part only but to the whole people."
, We commend this platform to the careful conside
, ration of the conservative men of the country of ail
t parties—and especially do we commend it to the
attention of the old line Whigs.
dir. Fillmore and tlie Old Line Whig*.
Since Mr. Buchanan has swallowed the Demo
cratic Filibustering platform, it is very wisely re-
I marked that he has ceased to have any individual
( identity as a politician ; he is only so many planks,
loosely fastened together, or a mere beam in the eye.
. The Red Republican flag of France, picked up in
the gory streets of Paris, waves ominously over the
> platform, and men who reverence the name of
Washington, and who would wish to see our lie*
, public as eternal as God and truth, carefully avoid
coming in contact with that flag. The American
party is every day obtaining new converts as the
fact becomes wider known that it is the only one
that will conserve the Union, quell civil discord and
> foreign strife, and advance the civilization of the
’ world.
Col. Fremont, the recreant son of the South, hav
ing obtained 1 lie nomination of the Black Republi
cans, niggerism will be as rampant with his follow
ers as filibusterism is in the Democratic platform.—
Both are deadly foes to the perpetuity of our glo
rious Union; for if niggerism triumphs State Rights
will die, and if filibusterism is encouraged the pi
rate’s savage yell will cause Justice to drop her
scales, and take her flight from our shores. There
was never a time when the spirit of Conservatism
was so much needed in our country; when it be
came a solemn duty for every citizen to arouse from
the lethargy into which he has sunk and to buckle
on the armor of resistance. There is no American
citizen that can be true to his proud lineage and
quiescent at such a time. Every man must be up
and doing; every man must seek to emulate the
deeds of the Father of his Country, not merely pon
der on his words. Tlic time for action has arrived;
maul}”, patriotic action in order that our immediate
future may be secure, and that posterity for ages to
come may bless our memories.
Among the old line Whigs, we are told, there are
men who say they will not vote for President.
They arc proud of the honorable course pursued by
Mr. Fillmore when he filled the clmir of first ma
gistrate of the Union ; they dwell with satisfaction
on his impartial spirit and his steadfast faithfulness;
they admire his great moral worth, and cheerfully
admit his claim to rank us the first of living states
man ; but they object to the principles of Ameri
canism. They lament the ignorance that prevails at
every election, but they hesitate about the remedy
to be applied. They appreciate the doctrine that
Americans should rule America, but they are du
bious about its being practically carried out. Let
them no longer hesitate. While Mr. Fillmore’s
rivals mount the one, a nigger’s back, and the other
tlmt of a filibuster, catering for freesoil support, it
becomes an imperative necessity for the Whigs,
whether they be followers of Clay or Webster, to
come forward,and forgetting minor differences, de
clare boldly that they will stay the tide that is bear
ing the country to destruction and march once
more under the banner of Millard Fillmore.
Startling News from liansns—Three Georgians
Killed.
The reports that have from time to time been
circulated of an engagement in Kansas between
Capt. Pate’s company and a party of Abolitionists,
arc fully comfirmed by an extra of the Border
Times, forwarded to the Savannah Republican by
J. 11. Blackburn, formally a compositor on that pa
per, who took part in the fighting. It appears that
Capt. 11. C. Pate’s company of Shawnee Sharp
shooters was a posse under the U. S. Marshal, sent
out in quest of some murderers. On Monday, the
•_M inst., they were in camp at Hickory Point, when
a large body of abolitionists came suddenly on
them. About twenty fired, wounding six of Capt.
Pate’s men. The company returned the fire and
then fell back. The abolitionists then took up a
position and fire incessantly for four hours. Capt.
Pate then sent a flag of truce and surrendered with
twenty of bis men to the enemy. Three of Capl.
Pate’s company. Messrs. Coleman, Long and Ream,
mounted their horses and made good their escape.
The list of wounded in Capt. Pate’s company is as
follows : Edward Gouldrieh, of Ga., mortally ; J.
Benjamin Lambert, late compositor of the Savan
nah Republican, mortally ; It. W. Wood, of Ga.,
mortally; James McGee, dangerously; Henry James
and Tim Connelly, slightly; several persons, names
not known, were wounded A number on picquet
guard have not been heard from—supposed to be
murdered.
The Border Times, June 1, adds the following :
Dr. Tebbs, a member of the late. Territorial Le
gislature, has just reached this place. He gives us
the following:
Yesterday morning, the U. 8. Marshal, I. B. Don
elson. together with four of his men were murdered
at Hickory Point, K. T. Maj. Donelson was on his
official duty, when he and nis men were attacked
and cut to pieces by the Abolition Outlaws!
Death of Capt. Hamilton Gaum any. —We are
pained to learn from the Savannah Journal <s•
Georgian, that Captain Hamilton Garmany, of
Ringgold, while out shooting birds, last Saturday,
met with a fatal accident through the accidental
discharge’" of his gun. The contents entered his
chest and abdomen, causing his death on the fol
lowing day.
Capt. Garmany was born in Newberry District,
S. C., in 1802, and soon after attaining manhood re
moved to Gwinnett county, in this State, where he
resided more than thirty years. On the Indians
j threatening war against the inhabitants of that
! neighborhood, a volunteer company was formed of
! which Hamilton Garmany was appointed Cap
-1 tain. In 1835 he fought the sanguinary battle
against the Creeks at Shepherd’s plantation, which
lasted three horns. He had eight men killed and
j several wounded, while fifty Indians were left dead
lon the field. In this engagement the Captain re
ceived a severe flesh wound, and in after fights with
‘he Indians he greatly distinguished himself. As a
i State Senator, Capt. Garmany also acquitted him
self wlifi credit. His death will cause deep sorrow
| to a large family and a numerous circle of friends.

We have «tated that tbs uoraiustioa of Mr, fli->
CHASJ.K by the Democratic Convention " at a Free
soil triumph. The Northern Democracy threw
their whole strength upon him in order to give a de
cisive verdict against the principles enuuciated in
the Kansas-Nebratka bill. The small boon granted
to the Southern wing in the shape of an approval of
that measure in the wordy platform was only the
modicum of sugar which sweetened the palate of
the Southern Democrats before they swallowed the
nauseous leek. That we should live to see the day
when Southern men would sell their birthright for a
mess of pottage is lamentable enough; but when we
think what a mess this Buchanan tongue aud Hal
let r platform would make—a compound of all the
worst ingredients of Pennsylvania Dutch, and Bos
ton rabid froth— we know not how to account for
their blindness. Wo read daily Southern Demo
cratic organs, imploring us to be lenient with their
shortcomings, to let the by-goncs of Mr. Buchan un
be by-gouts ; to delude ourselves with the idea that
his Freesoil proclivities, opeuly avowed in the U. S.
Senate when he had attained the mature age of
fifty, were uttered by a youth of twenty; to deal
gently with his wish that Southern institutions might
be merged In Mexican inongrelism, and to hope that
a person who had been a renegade to every cause
that he espoused during his prolonged career, would
at last become, iu the days of his senility, a firm
friend of the South.
The grace so suppliautly asked for we would
fain grant, but patriotism, honor and duty forbid it.
The South, while true to itself, caustaud against the
assaults of all the world; but when signs of weak
ness are displayed in a desire to fawn at the feet of
the betrayer, there is great danger to be feared.—
The strength of the South has been in union and
courage. Knowing there was an insidious danger
threatening its rights, it deprived it of its sting by
boldly facing it. In Cincinnati, however, the South
ern Democrats found Northern men determined to
adopt the bold course hitherto pursued by the South.
The Cincinnati Commercial of the 4th iust., stated ;
“There was a rumor, strongly indorsed, yesterday
afternoon, that the Buchanan men were sure of ob
taining a majority of the votes in the convention,
and that if it appeared impossible to obtain two
thirds, they would move that Buchanan be declared
the nominee; and, iu case they were defeated in
this, would withdraw from the Convention, repu
diate its proceedings, issue an address to t-he De
mocracy, and declare Buchanan the candidate, if
the fight waxes hot, and passions are exerted to the
uttermost, it is not improbable that this action will
be taken, as the Buchammiers are opposed, in the
most intense degree, to Pierce or Douglas, or any
man of their manufacture.”
This rumor was fully verified by the alter pro
ce lings in the Convention. The Northern free
s filers stood defiantly by their man until the South
ern politicians succumbed. Pierce and Douglas
were discarded by them and the aged Chamclion,
who associates Southern rights with Mexican mon
grelism was gulped down. O, shame where is thy
blush &e.
In the Louisville Journal, of the 11th inst., men
tion is made of the Commercial's paragraph given
above and the editor thus corrobarates it:
“On the same day a very reliable gentleman, just
returned from Indianapolis, who left there before
the Cincinnati Commercial of the 4th inst., had
been received, informed us that he had heard in In
dianapolis that the Buchanan men at Cincinnati in
tended to nominate him as their candidate at all
hazards, even if they had to withdraw from the con
vention to do so.
Several gentlemen of t his city, who were in Cin
cinnati during the whole session of the convention,
have informed us that, at the Burnet House on the
evening of the 3d inst, this threat on the part of the
Buchanan men was the prominent-topic of conver
sation.”
It is the opinion of the .Journal that the rumor
was purposely set afloat by the Buchananites to
catch the timid office seekers of the South. Be this
as it may, it is certain that it had this effect. It is
not, however, yet too late to retrieve the errors of
the past. Among the Democrats of the South, are
many high-toned gentlemen, who would spurn trea
son and corruption from their lect. We bid them
awake to the danger that is winding round their
path, bringing death and desolation in its track ;
we bid them stand forth for Southern rights, and
shaking off' the du*t of party, vote only for a
statesman of high integrity aud moral worth; a
statesman whose name will be the watchword of
strength in the hour of peril} and whose patriotic
deeds are now our surest guarantee of living excel
lence.
From Kansas.
The Baltimore Patriot of Thursday afternoon
says :—“We learn that Gen. Whitfield, and the In

W ashington. They are accompanied by Messrs. J.
Walker, Dr. Armstrong, and Mr. John Barker, a
deputation of Wyandotte Indians, also from Kansas.
We are happy to learn that the affairs in the ter
ritory are by no means in us bad a state as has been
represented, and that such representation will he
made to the Government at Washington as will
soon put a stop to all further difficulties.”
The facts disclosed in the last sentence, will, per
haps, open the eyes of the people to the game which
the agitators of both sections have been playing in
order to keep lip an excitement.
Raised Notes. —We have just been shown a

thumb carefully over the raised parts. The raised
notes have the figure 5 on each corner at the
top, and the genuine, on the two corners at the bot
tom. By observing this distinction, there is no
danger of any being imposed upon.— Times.
The raising of the bills of a Wild Cat Bank, and

Another Shipload of Mormons. —The packet

on the lGth inst., with 750 Mormons, most of whom
are bound for Salt Lake. Among them are 100
Swedes and Danes, and the remainder are composed
of English and Scotch, the larger portion being Eng
lish. They come from all parts of England, from
the extreme north to the isle of Jersey, and consist
of farmers, mechanics and laborers. The Swedes
are mostly farmers, with a few blacksmiths. Many
were brought out at the expense of the Mormon
Emigration Fund.

received several wounds about the face and neck.—
McLendon escaped with a ball through the coat

The prospect of the crops in Appling is only tol

served out the whole term at Sing Sing. He does
not appear to have mended his morals by going to

Strange Report.—The New York Herald of the
16th inst., says : It appears that the Prussian gov
ernment has taken steps to form a naval station on
this continent, with the ostensible object of protect
ing the Germans who yearly emigrate across the
Atlantic. The Cabinent of Vienna has decided upon
following its example, and a squadron of three ships
of-war is about to be equipped at Trieste to be sent
to the American coast. Russia, adds the Herald ,
has also in contemplation a similar object.
Peal’s Museum, on Broadway, New York City,
fell down on the morning of the 16th inst., with a
thundering crash. It had been reported unsafe for
some time. The museum was the precursor of Bar
num’s museum.
The People s Theatre, Cincinnati, which was
destroyed by fire on the afternoon of the 13th inst.,
was leased by Mr. George Wood, who loses about
S6,<KM) by the disaster. The loss on the theatre it
self, which was not insured will be from $6,000 to
SB,OOO. Miss Ellen Logan, who was fulfilling a
star engagement at the time, lost the whole of her
wardrobe. The total destruction of property is val
ued at $30,000. The theatre was unquestionably
set on fire.
Breach of Promise.— The Cleveland (Ohio)
Plaindcader , of the 10th, states that on the previous
day Charlotte Riley obtained a verdict against
Anthony Keary, in the Common Pleas, of $3,000
damages, by reason of a breach of promise to marry-
Keary, by the collision of cars on the C. C. & C.
R. R., lost his arm ; the girl attended him during
his illness; he promised to many' her, seduced her.
and on his recovery of $6,000 against the railroad,
refused to fulfil his promise. She had a child, sued
him, and obtained a righteous judgment. She has
restrained the payment of a part of the judgment
due him, and say a she’ll follow him to Rhode Island, ,
where ho now resides.

Tits South Carolina ftm&i, ia cemtueiiilng Up
on the coureo of the Charleston Mercury, takes a
\ eep into the Cincinnati Convention, lays bare the
motive that influenced the nomination, and pro
claims Mr. Buchanan’s principles : and as the ex
will doubtless be interesting to Southern l)e
mocrats gene ally, we publish it for theiv edifica
tion :
Thk Charleston Mercury.—This respected
journal, to which we have long been accustomed to
look as the unswerving advocate of the Constitu
tion Mid State Rights, has acquiesced in the nomi
nation of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency ; not,
however, because he is the nominee of the Demo
cratic party, nor yet because it recognizes the au
thority of the Cincinnati Convention to bind it in
matters of political faith. Were it a partizan press,
held in subserviency by party ties, which it may
not disregard, we could readily account for its pre
sent course. But opposed as it has been to party
organizations, because detrimental to the best in
terests o f the country and t specially of the South,
because subversive of the Constitution and the
rights of our section, and scorning, as it does, party
dictation, because of the degradation it imposes, its
acceptance of the nomination of the high-tariff and
freC'oil Buchanan, is wholly inexplicable to us.
But not content to merely acauiesce in the nomi
nation and to give its consent that South Carolina
shall vote for Buchanan and Breckenridge as the
less of two evils.it must needs go a step farther and
express the opinion that they arc the representatives
of “the Constitution and the South.” This decla
ration to our mind appears very much like exhibit
ing a disposition to assume and wear the livery of
party. It looks like the special pleading of an advo
cate. Buchanan the representative of the Consti
tution and the South! Will the Mercury inform us
in what way the man who voted for the Tariff of
18-12, and declared in 1844 that lie “fell a strong re
pugnance to extending the Union over any more
slaveholding territory ,** can ever be a representa
tive of the Constitution ? Will the Mercmy inform
us how he can be a representative of the South,
when it is notorious that the Southern delegates at
Cincinnati almost unanimously opposed his nomi
nationand gave in only when it was apprehended
his Northern supporters would secede from the Con
vention and set up for themselves ? No, no. Mr.
Buchanan is the representative of the North, was
nominated by the North in opposition to both Pierce
and Douglas, the first and second and only choice of
the South, and, if the South shall vote for him, it
will be because the ties of party are stronger than
the love of our section. He was selected for his
availability—chosen as a leader, because more ac
ceptable to Northern Free soil Democrats than either
Pierce or Douglas; for the reason that lie can com
mand more of the votes of the high tariff Demo
crats of Pennsylvania, of the internal improvement
advocates of the Northwest, and of the Freesoilers
of New York and Ohio: because he Ims none of
the sears of battle upon his person. Yet the Mer
cury calls him a representative of the South, well
knowing that these were the reasons why he was
preferred before Pierce and Douglas.
We tell the Mercury, in all frankness and friend
ship, that its course in reference to the nomination
has caused much surprise to the “old line” State
rights na nos the State. When they confidently ex
pected that it would stand fast by the faith of its
fathers, they were deeply pained and chagrined to
see it “wheel into line” with the national Democrats.
It is now giving moral aid and comfort to that par
ty, which is seeking to nationalize South Carolina,
to make her a vassal of Democracy, and to subvert
her whole domestic policy. When the news reached
the eon vent ionists of this State that Buchanan was
nominated, dismay and dissatisfaction were depict
ed upon the countenances of every member of the
“corporal guard,” and bright hope cheered the
laces of the remnant of the Old State rights guard.
But no sooner did the Mercury swallow Buchanan
with all his tariffism and freesoihsm, than the
gloomy, dissatisfied countenances of the one party
were lighted up with hope and satisfaction, and des
pondency fillea the hearts of the other party. Let
the Mercury be assured of one fact that its old ene
mies, the Federalists in this State, view its present
course with the utmost complacency and the warm
est self gmtulatioiis. Who would have believed
, one month ago, that State lights republicanism
would have received so fatal stab in the house of its
i friends l
The Southron published at Orangeburg, com
ments on the Convention and nominee thus:
The Democratic Convention at Cincinnati nomi
nated Mr. Buchanan as its candidate for the Presi
dency on the 17th ballot.
That the just claims of Mr. Pierce to the nomina
tion were disregarded and trampled under foot, we
are not surprised to learn, as it will readily occur to
our readers that we have been predicting for the
last four months that his political integrity and stem
observance of the rights of the South would be suf
ficient to deprive him of the favor of tVe political
gamblers who compose the great mass of a nomina
ting convention. We did not expect political vir
tue in any such body, and we have not been disap
pointed. To the nominee of the Democratic Con
vention, we are not prepared to swear fealty, %ul
we fail to perceive by what process of reasoning we
can arrive at the comforting conclusion, that to the
guardianship of Mr. Buchanan “the whole country
can safely entrust their interests.”
The standard bearer of the National Democracy
commenced his political career as a Federalist, and
preserves a happy consistency by his present ad
vocacy of a protective tariff, and by a virtual repu
diation of the great corner stone of our political
faith, the inviolability of the doctrine of State rights.
We cannot fight under Mr. Buchanan’s banner,
because we want the evidences of his soundness on
slavery—that question, which exceeds all others in
importance ; and unless we have the proof of Mr.
Buchanan’s orthodoxy, we do assert that a blind
advocacy of his claims for the office to which he
aspires will amount to a virtual ignoring of the faith
of our fathers, and will result in the inauguration of
a new policy in South Carolina; it will bind us to
the ear of federal power, and erect into supremacy
the National Party of our State.
What claims has Mr. Buchanan upon us for sup
port? Docs he bear upon his person the wounds
and scars of honorable warfare ! Has he ever peril
led anything in behalf of the constitutional rights of
the South ? We have not yet learned to school our
lips to the notes of adulation, and until we possess
more unerring proof of his fidelity to the rights of
the South, we cannot give to the nominee of the con
vention that support which the National Party of
South Carolina, under the new regime, enjoins as a
duty.
The Greenville Enterprise pours in the following
broadside:
If the nomination of Mr. Buchanan could have
been foreseen, we venture the assertion that South
Carolina would not have been represented by a sin
gle delgate in the Convention that nominated him.
It was only to throw her vote for Pierce, and there
by, perhaps, secure his re-nomination that the State
consented to be represented at all. Admitting that
a majority of our people were in favor of sending
delegates—stil,l in the minds of many a disputed
point —does it follow, as a matter of course, that
because an overpowering influence from the North
succeeded in nominating a man of all aspirants, the
most objectionable, we are tamely to submit the
p lacing upon our necks a yoke which is to break
us to the service of Northern enemies, and even
tually become the willing servants of fanantical
taskmasters ?
Should South Carolina consent to acquiesce in the
nomination which lias been made, will it not amount
to an overt act of treason to herself, and disgrace
her in the eyes of all honorable and consistent men !
The nomination which has been made, and that too,
by the aid ol Southern votes, amounts virtually to
a repudiation of the administration of President
Pierce, who was and still should be the choice of the
South. And why were the claims of Mr. Pierce dis
regarded, and one selected in preference to him
whose every antecedent shows lnm to be an enemy
to the South l Why did our representatives forsake
him who had stood by them and their institutions in
an hour of trial, for one who never has and who
never will have claims to their support 1 Mr. Bu
chanan owes his nomination mainly upon the
chances of his availability in the free States. Avail
ability—a miserable and contemptible subterfuge
by which Southerners may hide their cringing fears
of Northern power. The strength of the Democratic
patry lies in the South, still that portion is made to
support a Northern man with Northern prineinles
solely upon the ground of his Northern availabili
ty ! Away with such a doctrine. Throw off the
shackles of a party which degrades us, and no
longer
“Crook the pregnant hinges of the knee,
Where thrift must follow fawning.”
The objection that we have to Mr. Bnelmimn is
not because of the fact that he ih from a Northern
State, but from the greatest of all reasons, viz :
there is not in all his past history a single instance
tliat we have seen or read, where he has ever shown
towards the South a favor when the interests of the
North were opposed to it. An old line Federalist,
he would still favor the tariff system, lie is opposed
to the extension of slavery, as his strenuous advoca
cy of the Missouri Compromise measure fully attest.
Was opposed to its repeal, and now assents to favor
the Kansns-Nebraska bill in order to insure his per
sonal advancement. lie endorses the infamous
squatter sovereignty provisions of the Kansas bill,
which is now the cause of so much civil discord, and
which enables free-soilers and foreigners, together
with the tilth and scum of all the world to effectually
resist, and put, down by violence all citizens of the
South who might emigrate thereto and claim protec
tion to their slave property.
Considering Mr. Buchanan in the above light, and
the records of his life will not permit us to look upon
him in any other, his election to the Presidency must
be regarded as dangerous to the South. We are
most emphatically opposed to his election. The
gentleman who is nominated upon Ihe ticket for
Vice President, Mr. Breckenridge, of Ky., we could
heartily support. He is entitled to our support, and
it would be cheerfully given were Mr. Pierce or
Judge Douglas a candidate for the Presidency.—
These expressions of our convictions are made with
no other intention than to place ourself aright be
fore our readers in regard to the nomination of Mr.
Buchanan. We have the highest regard for the
opinions of those who conscientiously differ from us,
From time to time, we shall continue to express our
views, however humble they may be, but in no
event shall we pcnriir ouiself to support thepreten
sioiis of Mr. Buchanan to the Presiaeucy.
Uftcon A Brunswick Railroad.
The citizens of Brunswick are agitating the ques
tion of building a Railroad to Macon, and have held
a meeting to consider the subject of making an ap
propriation for a survey. The Mayor favors a lib
eral subscription for the purpose, and sets forth the
reasons thus:
“As Brunswick will reap such great and varied
benefits from this Railroad connection with Macon,
thereby becoming the great commercial and politi
cal centre of the South, it is proper that she should
take the lead in the matter. Other parties who are
anxiously willing to co-operate are waiting for us to
commence the work. The project meets with great
favor and encouragement throughout all Middle and
Northern Georgia, and the people will come to our
aid with a liberal subscription. They have paid
sufficiently long the exorbitant and unnatural tri
butc exacted from them by the cities of Charleston
and Savannah, and now wish to enjoy the advan
tages of a city, from and to the wharves of which, a
respectable vessel can, at all times, go and come.”
Alleged Frauds is the U. S. Marshal’s Of
fice at Cincinnati. —There are some transactions
connected with the trial of the recent enlistment
cases at Cincinnati which savor very much of fraud.
The suit was brought against Chas. Royvecroft,
the British Consul, and five others, and though they
were all tried together and it made but one case,
yet the Marshal taxes the fees for every witness Bix
times over, as though there had been six separate
and distinct cases. There were 14 witnesses in the
case, each charging attendance hr five days which,
as taxed by the commissioner, amounted to $1,777.-
50. These certificates being presented to the Comp
troller at Washington, that officer, we leani from
the Cincinnati Gazette , refused to pay more than
$307.50, as being all that the witnesses can legally
claim.
Anti-Slavery Propagandise! is the Metho

the Tract Committee, reported the following resolu
tion :
Resolved, That the Book Agents and Tract Sec
retary be and they are hereby instructed to publish
in tract or book form such anti-slavery matter as
the subject of slavery may demand, including Mr.
Wesley's “ Thoughts on Slavery.
The resolution gave rise to much excitement, but
after a long explanation from the Rev Abel Stevens
and considerable discussion, it was dually adopted
without serious opposition.
